Granted: 1900-04-28
Abstract: 10,159. Kruschwitz, H. May 13. Carillon mechanism ; instruments with bells -The Specification describes means for playing on bells, either electrically for the purpose of producing continuous ringing, or mechanically for giving single strokes. The electric mechanism is of ordinary construction, single magnets being used, the wires from which are in electrical connection with a single conducting- bar running underneath a set of keys similar to those of an accordion. The other ends of the wires are connected to the keys. Another set of keys similar in all respects to the former one operates the single-stroke hammers e mechanically by rods d. The hammer shank is resilient, and is pivoted at f, so that, when the rod d is raised by depressing the corresponding key, the hammer is brought down on the bell. Each bell has a damper k mounted on a resilient arm carried by a horizontal rod i<1> (of which there are several) attached to vertical rods i capable of depression by means of pedals. Actuation of the pedals then applies all the dampers, but as the stroke of a hammer is delivered the corresponding damper is raised by a rod m attached to the rod d.

Granted: 1901-01-26
Abstract: 4622. Reichwald, A., [Krupp, F.]. March 10. Switches. - Relates to a switch for reversing electromotors. A casing a is divided into three parts by partitions a<1>, a<2>. Sliding rods n, r, carrying spring plunger contacts 1, 2, 3, 4, 11, 12, 13, ...17, are reciprocated by cranks d, e, set 90‹ apart, and straps l, p. The crank shafts are geared together so as to move in the same direction, and are operated by a handle i. In the position of rest shown in Fig. 1, the armature is short-circuited, the plungers 11, 12 and plate t bridging over the contacts 9, 10. On raising the handle i, the rod n is raised, and the plungers 1, 2 contact with plungers 5, 6 ; as soon as contact is made further motion ceases, owing to the concentric part of the strap l the rod r is at the same time lowered to open the motor circuit, and the current now passes from + through a series of resistances U<4> ... U round the armature and back to - ; further motion of the rod r causes the plungers 13 ... 17 to contact with the stepped plungers 19 ... 22, and so short-circuit the resistances U ... U<4> in succession. On bringing back the handle to the position shown, the resistances are successively put in the circuit, and the armature is short-circuited. On lowering the handle i, the motor is started in the opposite direction in an analogous manner.

Granted: 1900-08-25
Abstract: 12,956. Apt, J., and Lohmann, P. July 18. Cocoa preparations.-Relates to a cocoa preparation freed from starch to adapt it for use by diabetes patients.

Title: Improved Means for Controlling Steering Engines from a Distance.
Inventor: PATTERSON JAMES
Filed: 1900-07-26
Granted: 1901-06-15
Abstract: 13,443. Patterson, J. July 26. Steering-gear.-Relates to means for controlling steering-engines from a bridge or other steering- station at a distance, the transmission being effected by varying the pressure of a fluid in one or more pipes connecting the stations. Fig. 1 shows the transmitting-apparatus arranged in connection with a hand steering-wheel. Pumps A<3>, A<4> are operated by the rotation of this wheel, and, drawing water from the tank A, they deliver it into the tank B<4>. Thence by a pipe B<5> the water passes into the valve-chest C of the transmitter, which is shown in section in Fig. 7. In this there is a valve D, by which the supply of fluid to the transmitting-pipes is regulated. This valve is actuated by a floating lever D', connected at one end through a lever H to screw gear on the band-wheel shaft and at the other end to a piston-rod E<5> which effects the return of the valve to its neutral position as soon as the pressure in the transmitting-pipe equals that due to the compression of springs G<2>, against which the piston-rod moves from its middle position. Figs. 3 and 4 are front and side elevations of the steering-engines. The fluid conveyed by one or other of the transmitting-pipes D<3>, D' acts in the receiving cylinder J<1> and shifts the levers M<1> in opposition to the springs K<3> a distance proportional to the pressure. By this means, the engine controlling-gear is actuated in any suitable way. Preferably, the floating lever M' is operated, and thence, through the consequent movement of the valve M, the steam relay cylinder L<1> is brought into action to work the rack L<3> and thereby the engine controlling-gear L. A modification of the transmitting and receiving apparatus is also shown, in which only a single transmitting - pipe is employed.

The vehicles are uncoupled by moving the shaft G to withdraw the pin N when the tumbler assumes its normal position. The links F are brought into the coupling position by continuing the pull on the shaft G until the projection P on the arm O presses against the shoulder C<1> and turns the pin C until the extension Q on the arm J engages with the projection C'. The pin C has a loose collar T' with a lug T against which rests the balanced weight D' of toggle links, not shown, when the coupling-links are swung aside.
